To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, VVALDEMAR Kore, a citizen of the United States, residing at the borough of Manhattan, in the city, county, and State of New York, have invented an Improvement in Elastic Fabrics,

- of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to elastic fabric of parallel sided form, with the object of pro viding fabric suitable for use between parts under tension, in gores of .corsets, slippers, etc. and wherever such forms of elastic are useful in the arts and manufactures.

In the article of my invention I provide the elastic portions with borders or edges of inelastic fabric forming sewing sections, and in the continuous fiat strip as woven the inelastic sewing sections are arranged intermediate the elastic sections transversely or in diagonal reversed positions adapting the strip to be cut up through the inelastic sewing sections into shaped pieces of suitable configuration for filling the gores of corsets, slippers etc. In each of these parts the elastic strands run parallel with the warp threads and in the sewing sections the elastic and usual Warp threads are bound together both by the usual Weft threads and by additional and intermediate weit threads, whereby the elastic warps are firmly held in place and slipping thereof prevented.

I prefer to form the elastic fabric of my invention in continuous lengths, which are adapted to be severed at intermediate points or cut up into suitable shaped sections.

In the drawing I have showna plan of a length of elastic fabric according to my invcntion.

Similar letters andnuinerals of reference indicate similar parts.

In the drawing 2 and 3 represent the selvage of the elastic fabric strip, a, a, a (1. and a represent the iii-elastic or sewing sections, Z2, 6 b 15 and b represent the elastic sections. i

In the fabric of my invention the warp threads, of cotton or other suitable. material, extend lengthwise of the fabric, The elastic strands run parallel to the hne of and between groups of warp threads and preferably extend from selvage to selvage.

In weaving the fabric of my inventlon, and as illustrated, the parts a, a, a a and 0., contain additional weft threads of cotton 7 Specification of Letters Patent. Applicatidn filed septemh'er 23, 1911.

or suitable material, woven with the same or independent and separate shuttles inthe transverse or diagonal lengths of figures illustrated, so that at one point a and a come together, and a and a? come to- .While I have shown the severable parts as of \l-shape, they may be of U or other shape according to the use to which said parts are to be put, without departing from my invention. 1 g y I claim as my invention: -l. A flat length elastic fabric having continuous elastic warps suitably, spaced through its width and comprising. elastic.

parts with relatively narrow marginal inelastic or sewing sections extending at an inclination across the direction of elasticity. if

2. An elastic fabric having continuous elastic warps suitably spaced throughout its width and adapted to be severed into suitably shaped sections, each having opposite relatively narrow marginalinelastic or sewing sections which.in the fabric before being severed extend" at an inclination across the direction of elasticity.

3. A flatlength elastic fabric adapted to be severed into suitable shaped sections, with opposite marginal iii-elastic sewing sections and in which said shaped sections are woven continuous and reversed in position.

4. A flat length elastic fabric adapted to be severed into V-shaped sections, with opposite marginal inelastic sewing sections and in which said sections are woven continuous and reversed in position. i

5. A flat length elastic fabric adapted to be severed into suitable shaped sections, with opposite marginal iii-elastic sewing sections and in which said shaped sections are woven continuous and also in which additional- Weft threads form, with the usual weft threads and the Warp, the marginal inelastic or sewing sections.

6. A flat length El'dSillC fabric adapted to be severed into suitable shaped sections, with oppositeinarginul iii-elastic sewing sections and in which said shaped sections are :Woven continuous and also in which additional weft threads form, with the usual weft threads and the warp, the znzirginal inelastic or sewing sections extendin g across the strip of webbing diagonally.

7. A. fiat length elastic fabric adapted to he severed into V-shaped sections, with opposite marginal ill-elastic" sewing sections and in Whichsaid sections are woven conitinuous and reversed and also in which additional weft threads form, with the usual weft threads and the Warp, the marginal in-elastic or sewing sections extending across the strip of webbing diagonally.
